Note for all chapters: The Kuroko no Basuke characters belong to Fujimaki Tadatoshi-sensei, not to me. This is a drabble collection, with possibly some oneshots mixed in, of things I write on tumblr (sometimes as an ask, sometimes just because). ;D Read, review, and enjoy!

"what do you mean you're not attractive whatthefuck"

The day after Kuroko's birthday party, Akashi thinks Rakuzan's joint practice with Yosen is going well. Yes, Rakuzan lost Mayuzumi, but Akashi still has his three kings to rely on, and there's the start of some real trust forming between him and those three. Mibuchi's tried explaining to Akashi what he was like before the Winter Cup, and Akashi understands it some…more than he'll let on to the others, at least, because he knows the Other Akashi lies dormant within him.

But he's glad the Other Akashi sleeps, otherwise he doubts he would've had as much fun as he did, playing with his middle school friends the other day, enjoying the party the other day. Although…

Mibuchi notices Akashi's disgruntled expression as the teams take a five-minute break. "Sei-chan? Is something the matter?"

It doesn't escape Akashi that Nebuya and Hayama tense at the caution in Mibuchi's voice, and he internally sighs. Trust-building is such a laborious process… "Mibuchi-san, am I doing better?"

Out of the three kings present, Mibuchi's the one fastest growing accustomed to Akashi's true speech patterns. "Well, yes…"

"Then why are some people still afraid of me?"

Mibuchi frowns and shoots Nebuya a look over their captain's head. "I think…it just takes some getting used to, Sei-chan."

"I see." Akashi wipes his face with his towel and goes to return the cloth to his bag…but he eyes his cell phone instead and swaps the items. "I'll be right back," he says over his shoulder, stepping outside the gym. He opens his phone, meaning to call or text Kuroko about Kuroko's friend, but he gets the feeling he should check his address book. And, when he does, he sees several new numbers listed: "Kagamin," "Takao," "Himuro-san." Judging by the naming conventions, Momoi added them. But one stands out.

"Furihata Kouki."

It's neat and detailed, as Akashi prefers, so he must've entered it…goodness knows when. Still, the captain dials the number, and a jumpy puppy answers.

"Y-Yes!"

"Furihata-kun? This is Akashi Seijuro."

"Y-Yes!"

Again, he internally sighs. "You…don't have to be so proper, you know. I'm sorry that I gave you that impression the other day."

"…y-yes?"

Finally, a change. "I enjoyed talking with you the other day," Akashi says easily. "And I thought I'd like to do that again."

"Y-yes."

Akashi outwardly sighs this time. "I mean, outside of facing you on the court."

"Y-Yes…?"

Why does he sound so unsure of himself? "Furihata-kun, you do understand that I'm asking for, say, a coffee or something? Or something else, if you'd like."

"Y-Yes…"

Akashi feels irritated and wants to scold the other freshman. What, does Furihata not think he's attractive enough to be asked out on a date?!

…

Oh.

"I…I'll text you a time when I'm free," Furihata finally says. "B-Bye, Akashi-kun!" And he hangs up before Akashi realizes exactly what has happened in his favor.

These two are so cute. I actually love them for comedic reasons.
